Statistics
To access statistics, select Statistics Menu on the Main Menu. Traffic statistics are
kept by port. Details and summaries of packets broadcast, transmitted, and
switched, as well as error packets and discarded packets are the types of statistics
kept for your switch.
Figure 43 shows the types of statistics that you can select to view from the
Statistics Menu.
After making your selection, the panels containing statistics will refresh every few
seconds. All counters may not update every few seconds. Even though the refresh
rate is every few seconds, some counters will not change. For example, the
Self-Learning Statistics counters update on an as needed basis whenever a host
gets updated.
Note: A description for each statistic may be obtained by pressing Help on the
associated Web statistics panel.
Port summary statistics
To view a summary of port statistics, select Port Summary Statistics Menu from
the Statistics Menu. See Figure 44 on page 62 for a summary of port statistics that
are collected.
